Brixton Flowers Modern Slavery Statement

Our Commitment to Combating Modern Slavery

Brixton Flowers is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in all areas of our business. As a trusted florist serving households and businesses throughout Brixton, we recognise our responsibility to lead by example and ensure every aspect of our operations reflects our values. Modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and child labour, is a grave violation of human rights. We are firmly opposed to all forms of modern slavery and are committed to implementing robust measures to prevent it within our operations and supply chains.

Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This extends to all individuals working for or on behalf of Brixton Flowers at any level, including staff, suppliers, and business partners. Any instance or suspicion of modern slavery is treated with utmost seriousness. We are committed to acting quickly and decisively should any concerns arise.

Supplier Due Diligence

We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can be present at any point in the supply chain. We therefore require all our suppliers to adhere to the same high standards as Brixton Flowers. As part of our due diligence process, we assess potential suppliers for their compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation. We seek written confirmation that they do not engage in any form of modern slavery and require assurances that they, in turn, ensure the same of their own suppliers. Ongoing relationships with suppliers are regularly reviewed to maintain transparency and accountability.

Staff Training and Awareness

The knowledge and vigilance of our staff are critical to the effectiveness of our anti-slavery efforts. All members of the Brixton Flowers team receive training to help them recognise potential indicators of modern slavery both within our business and in our supply chains. This training empowers staff to take action if they see anything suspicious and to understand the broader impact of modern slavery on communities and individuals.

Reporting Channels

Brixton Flowers encourages a culture of openness and responsibility. We have established clear internal channels for reporting any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery. Staff are encouraged to speak up without fear of retaliation, and all reports are treated confidentially and seriously. All concerns are investigated promptly and thoroughly, with appropriate remedial actions taken if necessary. We also pledge to cooperate fully with law enforcement and relevant authorities where required.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This policy is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and alignment with evolving legal requirements and best practices. Feedback from staff, suppliers, and customers informs our review process, so we can adapt and strengthen our approach. Any new learning or insights gained are incorporated into our measures to prevent modern slavery.

Our Responsibility as a Trusted Brixton Florist

Our commitment to combating modern slavery is an integral part of our responsibility as a florist serving local households and businesses. We believe that by upholding these standards, we contribute to the wellbeing of our customers, staff, and wider community. We continue to strive for transparency, fairness, and respect in every part of our business.
